Expert Customs Clearance for Pharmaceutical Packaging Imports

Pharmaceutical packaging materials—such as blister packs, HDPE containers, ampoules, vials, caps, seals, and foils—are subject to specialized import controls in Nigeria. These materials must meet strict regulatory guidelines enforced by agencies like NAFDAC (National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control) and Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) to ensure safety and suitability for pharmaceutical use.

Cargoburg offers specialized customs clearance for pharmaceutical packaging imports into Nigeria, managing all documentation, compliance, and inspection requirements with precision. Our service begins with:

• Comprehensive evaluation of required documents

• Processing of Form M and Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR)

• Coordination of NAFDAC import permits

• Product classification using accurate HS codes

• Payment of applicable duties and tariffs

• Scheduling and coordination of customs physical inspection

• Post-clearance reconciliation

This robust approach eliminates common bottlenecks and reduces clearance times. Pharmaceutical manufacturers rely on Cargoburg to ensure that their packaging materials arrive safely, quickly, and with full regulatory compliance—especially important for meeting production schedules and maintaining product integrity.

Our team is also well-versed in duty exemption procedures applicable to pharmaceutical and medical-related imports, helping clients save on costs without compromising compliance.
